I'm not sure who else is working on this, but it is my plan to attempt to
address these issues in the next few days; I was at IETF for the last week
so didn't have access to a bridge test bed. Now that I'm back in DC I
have test machines + network, I should make some progress.

I'd like to see a general cleanup of the ipfw code, as although it is
correct in most cases, it is hard to tell that by inspection.
